Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1240 1151: Flames from 3,000 Years Ago

Venerable Ghost Valley and his two companions were dumbfounded; the carefully laid plan had entirely fallen apart.

Losing the Red and Green Gourd was not the main issue. The real problem was that the two Venerable Tier Soldier Puppets had been enraged by its loss and were now seeking something to attack.

Venerable Ghost Valley and the others rushed out recklessly and collided with the soldier puppets.

Suddenly, the two colossal soldier puppets wielded their nearly four-zhang-long spears and struck at the three Demon Venerable ahead.

Having been caught off guard by the sudden attack from soldier puppets of equal strength, the three Demon Venerable were forced to hastily respond.

Meanwhile, in the grey mist, Little Wolf, holding a gourd in its mouth, dashed to Wang Yan and held up the gourd to him.

Upon receiving the gourd, Wang Yan felt its warmth and unparalleled smoothness.

The entire gourd was emerald green, with a faint transparency. Through it, Wang Yan could see dozens of pills of varying sizes inside.

Even without opening the gourd, Wang Yan could discern that each of these pills was extraordinary.

"The Red and Green Gourd?" Wang Yan had overheard the conversation of Venerable Fuqing and the others, so he murmured softly.

Just then, the sound of the fight ahead intensified, accompanied by the angry shouts of the three Venerable Fuqing.

Footsteps also echoed from behind.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Yan stored both the Red and Green Gourd and Little Wolf into the Starlight Ring and then vanished from sight.

At that moment, the Seven Great Governors, hundreds of Demon Saints and Demon Emperors, arrived one after another.

A flash of red light appeared, and among the crowd stood Imperial Censor Jia Mo in a red robe.

"Jia Mo" mingled within the crowd and continued moving toward the edge of the grey mist.

Within the crowd, Wang Yan, disguised as Jia Mo, reached the edge of the grey mist but suddenly stopped, refusing to go further.

The other Demon Saints and Demon Emperors, exhausted from traversing the grey mist, eagerly rushed out upon seeing the end.

Emerging from the grey mist, they witnessed raging flames and fierce assaults flying everywhere.

Some Demon Emperors, caught off guard, were instantly struck by the flying flames.

The flames were tremendously strange; once they touched the Demon Emperors, they rapidly spread, engulfing them completely, turning them to ash before they could utter a cry.

Seeing this, the Seven Great Governors and the hundreds of others fled in panic, keeping a safe distance.

It was then that everyone realized that the Three Great Demon Venerable, along with two Half-Venerable, were battling aggressively with two gigantic soldier puppets over three zhang tall.

During the battle, an Alchemy Furnace was shattered, causing the flames within to scatter outward.

The mysterious flames had just incinerated the Demon Emperors.

Luckily, after the five formidable figures joined forces, they gradually cornered the two Venerable Tier Soldier Puppets into a corner of the courtyard.

Suddenly, Venerable Fuqing raised her hand, releasing two red ribbons from her sleeve, entwining the arms of the soldier puppets together.

Seizing the moment, Venerable Ghost Valley swiftly tossed a bamboo scroll from his hand, entrapping the soldier puppets, revealing only their heads.

Venerable Zidan shouted, flying above the soldier puppets, releasing the Demon Patterns.

The Demon Pattern of Venerable Zidan was a robust giant.

The Demon Pattern descended, transforming Venerable Zidan into a muscular giant with a bare chest. With a roar, the giant slammed his massive fists on the puppets' heads.

A booming "bang" echoed, and the soldier puppets' heads were immediately smashed into dirt.

Only then did Venerable Ghost Valley and Venerable Fuqing retrieve their Magical Treasures, watching the headless soldier puppets fall to the ground.

When Venerable Ghost Valley retracted his bamboo scroll, he discovered that one piece of it had broken.

Apparently, it was during the puppets' struggle that one piece of the bamboo scroll had snapped.

Venerable Ghost Valley, enraged, lamented the poor start at Qinrong Palace.

Not only did the Red and Green Gourd disappear mysteriously, but his Magical Treasure suffered damage—a true case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose a handful of rice.

Gripping the broken scroll, Venerable Ghost Valley furiously demanded, "Who? Who took the gourd? Stand forth!"

Faced with Venerable Ghost Valley's mysterious rage, everyone around lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact.

After shouting twice with no response, Venerable Ghost Valley's spirit drained.

Everyone present was a junior, and Venerable Ghost Valley's party entered first. How could anyone snatch the gourd under the nose of the Three Great Demon Venerable?

Venerable Fuqing replied, "Forget it. Perhaps someone from the past took the Red and Green Gourd. After all, the Qinrong Palace appears only once every thousand years."

Hearing this, Venerable Ghost Valley reluctantly accepted the explanation.

For beyond that, there was no better explanation.

Thus, Venerable Ghost Valley, disheartened, stored the bamboo scroll Magical Treasure and discussed with Venerable Fuqing and Venerable Zidan, agreeing to evenly divide the soldier puppets' fragments.

Due to the damage to his Magical Treasure, Venerable Ghost Valley received a few more fragments.

After distributing the puppet fragments, the three Venerable swiftly flew off in search of treasure.

As the Three Great Demon Venerable departed, everyone else hurriedly left, eager to explore Qinrong Palace. Although they were merely within the first hall, the palace was three thousand years old. Even without acquiring the Red and Green Gourd, other Magical Treasures might await.

Soon, the battle site was deserted, save for the flames still blazing fiercely.

Just then, a red shadow emerged from the grey mist, silent and introspective.

Having witnessed the battle of the Three Great Demon Venerable, Wang Yan pondered deeply.

The power of the Three Great Demon Venerable was indeed remarkable, evidenced by the extraordinary bamboo scroll Magical Treasure alone.

And the two colossal soldier puppets were dauntingly powerful.

Without life, the puppets had fought evenly with the Three Great Demon Venerable.

A realization firmed Wang Yan's resolve to seek the key to crafting soldier puppets.

His thoughts concluded, Wang Yan prepared to search.

As Wang Yan turned to leave, he stopped abruptly, observing the flames continuously burning on the ground.

Recalling how the flames had swiftly engulfed the Demon Emperors, Wang Yan realized their remarkable nature in extinguishing their power completely.

A thought arose in Wang Yan's heart: the Qinrong Palace had existed for three millennia, suggesting the flames had burned for just as long. Ordinary three thousand years ago, the flames were now extraordinary.

Delighted by the revelation, Wang Yan eagerly focused on the flames.
